Old dude went TO THE GODDAMN MOON, and he gets no love around here. Maybe if he was a shitheel in orange and brown while fucking up every launch before it got off the ground you people might respect this great American.

Just considering the amount of training and the selection process to be considered for the space program is enough to earn my respect. And thinking about the technology they had then, those guys had the stones to sit on an unguided missle and do what they did. The launch, the landing, the second launch, reconnecting with the lunar orbiter, then the re-entry...

Think of all the advances in modern tech, and all the shit that goes wrong.
